Ignite Children's Ministries of "The Woods" Church of the Nazarene

2 year olds to Pre-K 5 year olds (Dana Hutsko, Coordinator)
We believe that God wants everyoneÂincluding small childrenÂto know and love Him. Our preschool class curriculum focuses on three overall concepts:

God made me.
God loves me.
Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

We focus on one key truth each month, giving each week a new twist and fresh activities, while repeating the main concept. Each week is full of objects for kids to touch, wild and wiggly activities to get them moving, crafts they will love getting into, and real-life situations they can relate to.

Kids are dividing into three classes by age: 2s, 3s and 4s/Pre-K 5s. Each preschool class includes Bible storytelling, singing, play time and fun activities. The curriculum (Bible lesson and activities) is similar for all preschool classes, but the mix of these activities will match the age and development of the kids in the class.

Parents play a vital role in helping kids to know and love God. Although our weekend class time with kids is an important factor in nurturing young Christians, the biggest impact comes from Mom and Dad. We post each week's lesson at check-in and send home lesson overview so you can discussed what they learned at church.

Our classroom schedule and classroom environment are designed purposefully to encourage your child in learning about worship and fellowship, and experiencing the love of Jesus. Our teachers support this by welcoming, encouraging and loving your child, and by looking for teachable moments.

Look for the "Today I Learned" page at the entryway as you bring your child to class. The Bible story, verse and main point will be there to encourage open discussion about all your child learned in church.

We cannot wait to welcome your child to Children's Ministry!
